Inbred corn line ZS1679

Abstract

Broadly this invention provides inbred corn line ZS1679. The methods for producing a corn plant by crossing the inbred line ZS1679 are encompassed by the invention. Additionally, the invention relates to the various parts of inbred ZS1679 including culturable cells. This invention relates to hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line ZS1679 with at least one other corn line.

We claim: 
     
       1. Inbred corn seed designated ZS1679 seed of which has been deposited in the ATCC under deposit number X. 
     
     
       2. A corn plant produced by the seed of claim 1. 
     
     
       3. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of ZS1679 seed of which has been deposited in the ATCC under deposit number X. 
     
     
       4. A tissue culture according to claim 3, the tissue culture selected from the group consisting of leaves, pollen, embryos, roots, root tips, anthers, silk, flowers, kernels, ears, cobs, husks and stalks, and cells and protoplasts thereof. 
     
     
       5. A corn plant having all the physiological and morphological traits of ZS1679 seed of which has been deposited in the ATCC under deposit number X and regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 3. 
     
     
       6. Hybrid seed produced by: (a) planting, in pollinating proximity, seeds of corn inbred lines ZS1679 seed of which has been deposited in the ATCC under deposit number X and another inbred line;   (b) cultivating corn plants resulting from said planting;   (c) preventing pollen production by the plants of one of the inbred lines;   (d) allowing cross pollinating to occur between said inbred lines; and     (e) harvesting seeds produced on plants of the inbred line of step (c).   
     
     
       7. Hybrid seed produced by hybrid combination of plants of inbred corn seed designated ZS1679 seed of which has been deposited in the ATCC under deposit number X and plants of another inbred line. 
     
     
       8. Hybrid plants grown from seed of claim 7. 
     
     
       9. A first generation (F1) hybrid corn plant produced by the process of: (a) planting seeds of corn inbred lines ZS1679 seed of which has been deposited in the ATCC under deposit number X and another inbred line;   (b) cultivating corn plants resulting from said planting;   (c) preventing pollen production by the plants of one of the inbred lines;   (d) allowing cross pollinating to occur between said inbred lines;   (e) harvesting seeds produced on plants of the inbred line of step (c); and   (f) growing a harvested seed of step (e).   
     
     
       10. A tissue culture of the regenerable cells of the corn plant of claim 8. 
     
     
       11. A tissue culture of the regenerable cells of the corn plant of claim 9.
